Backed into the playoffs? We had that stuff locked up since week 14....BRAH

I love this team as much as everyone else here does, but losing to the Panthers at home in embarrassing fashion and then becoming the first 10 win team to lost to a 1 win team in NFL history is backing in. Don't try to tell me we weren't trying, because we could have had the #1 seed or at least gotten a 1st round bye. And with all the injuries, that would have been huge.

I know we could have taken the Titans, but when you're on a 3 game losing streak, you're not going to get a lot of media time

That's not backing in.

Backing in = 2006 Chiefs. Faltered down the stretch and STILL made the playoffs.

???????????

Backing into the playoffs is what the Jets did in 2009. Clinching the division in week 14 isn't backing in.

I guess everyone's being technical, but they're correct... Backing in means barely getting in... Now "stumbling in", no one can disagree with 'at...

Speaking of NFL Live, they are doing about five or so segments on the Texans-Bengals right now.

They just did a whole segment on us. I really don't think they are passing us by, the other games are just more interesting (i'll be watching the 3 other games for sure.) if we had Schaub and Mario though I think we'd be getting a lot more hype.

Yes. Everybody hates Houston. Now just get over it, and enjoy your team playing in the playoffs.

Tired of whining...

"Co-sign" or the ever popular and redundantly lame "^^^this^^^" with no additional feedback other than to increase your post count. Oh, How about "Cool Story Bro"??? Please don't let this board become like clutchfans. I used to love that board until too many mommies and daddies allowed their spoiled undisciplined children to run rampant on the internet(z).

Quit whining. Quit having a sense of entitlement. We have earned nothing, and there is nothing interesting to national media unless we make it interesting. Rookie QB takes his team to AFC championship game...now that is interesting. Come complain when they don't talk about that. If we go 1 and done, which I hope we don't by any means, but then they will really forget about us. Then next year, when everone comes back healthy, we'll sneak up on em. Go wipe your tears you little sissy boys, ask your daddy for your allowance and go hop in your car that you've never had to pay a dime for and go get you a happy meal.
